SIMON JORDAN: The Man United we knew under Sir Alex Ferguson is DEAD. England's biggest club haven't got top-end people on the pitch, in the dugout or boardroom. It's not just down to the Glazers

The Glazers are undoubtedly a convenient scapegoat for Manchester United's problems but the club's malaise runs deeper than the identity of the owners.

While fan indignation at the barefaced profiteering United's owners have exhibited since landing the football deal of the century in 2005 has some resonance, supporters are delusional if they think a change at the top will be the panacea for one of the club's main problems.

Namely, that football has evolved and United no longer dominate. So while 'Glory, Glory Man United' chants have been replaced with 'Glazers Out' at Old Trafford, the truth is they're no longer the only club with the financial muscle that allowed them to rack up multiple titles in the early Premier League years.
